The booming era begins with the director of the Propaganda Department!

Chapter 26 Stalking! !
  Lao Hetou is a talented person, at least a rare and wonderful person in Sijiu City.

It is said that the old man started selling wine on Qianmen Street when he was sixteen years old, and he has always sold fake wine adulterated with water.

It is said that in the 1931th year of the Republic of China, that is, in in the Gregorian calendar, he was pinned down by some gangsters under the Zhengyang Gate and whipped with a belt because of selling fake wine.

During the beating, a group of people gathered around to watch, and the whole body was red, swollen and shiny. When his senile mother saw her son come back with such a ghostly appearance, he must have said that his rosy face and body were a sign that he was going to make a fortune.

The beatings happened several times in the future, but after the old man recovered from his injuries, he never changed his original intention and forged ahead, focusing on selling fake wine. It's just that in the drawer of the store, I always forget to prepare a bottle of medicinal wine for bruises.

Later, at the end of 1948, Old He became old.

One day, I met Zhang Chenfei and several young men who had stolen money from home to buy wine.

The half-grown boy was already fighting with his life, but after drinking fake wine, he became as brave as Lu Bu.

Lao Hetou was subdued this time. He lay on the ground and said that he would never dare to serve fake wine again when he saw these young men in the future.

The old man's original words at that time were: "I, Old He, will die of thirst and starvation in this life, and jump from the Zhengyangmen archway. I will never sell fake wine to a few young men again!!!"

This time I saw several young men who loved drinking real wine coming over again, and Lao Hetou immediately came over with a smile on his face.

"Hey, you guys haven't been here for a while. What's wrong? Are you still the same?"

Old Hetou looked amiable on his face, but he was complaining in his heart. A group of poor people, four people order eight taels of the cheapest wine. Sometimes they don’t even want to order a pickle, so they just drink it there! !
  If I weren't afraid of being beaten, I wouldn't want to greet you at all! !

The fat man Da Ma Jin Dao sat down and glanced sideways at him: "What are you doing? Da Fei is treating us today, please give us some more dishes to go with the wine!! Anything like fennel beans, dried tofu, peanuts, everything. Rice rolls and rice rolls. Two servings of pickles!!!
  As for wine, let’s get a pound of Niulanshan first. If it’s not enough, we’ll ask for more. "

After the fat man finished arranging Lao He Tou, he turned to Zhang Chenfei and said, "I don't know why, but I always feel that the pickles at Lao He Tou's house are delicious and I can't get enough of them."

Zhang Chenfei complained, can it not be delicious? That was pressed out of priceless jade! ! !

Lao He went back to the counter and took out a pound of serious Erguotou from the small jar that was hidden away.

Then he brought out all the dishes the fat man wanted and put them on a tray. Let his son He Yongqiang, who has a bitter face and a bitter face, serve Zhang Chenfei and others.

Zhang Chenfei held a cigarette in his mouth and looked at He Yongqiang who was clumsily placing dishes on the table. He couldn't help but sigh that this guy was a typical example of a poor player with a good hand of cards.

He doesn't have much ability, but he has quite a bad temper. He doesn't mean what he says, and his despicableness is occasionally mixed with a little shamelessness.

However, judging from the way this guy is getting along with Old Man He, it seems that this guy is not married yet? ? ? If so.
  After the food and drinks were put on the table, He Yongqiang left without saying a word and behaved like a waiter in a late-stage state-owned store.

Zhang Chenfei and the others didn't pay any attention to him. They directly clinked glasses of wine and started eating and drinking.

Si Jian'er talked about what happened today when Fatty and he went to rent a house near the freight station as Zhang Chenfei said.

"The warehouses near the freight station near the unloading square are quite expensive, but the ones farther away are better. I saw a large warehouse with a total area of ​​280 square meters. The landlord said it costs five yuan a month. Except for the ones farther away, Nothing wrong with it”

Si Yan'er said while carefully looking at Zhang Chenfei's face: "What about that, Brother Da Fei, do you think it's okay? If not, I'll rent somewhere closer to the freight station."

When we were drinking together yesterday, Brother Da Fei said that he would find a warehouse near the freight station. The place has convenient transportation and will be convenient for customers to purchase goods in the future. But he didn't say how far away the rental was from the freight station, so he made his own decision.

Zhang Chenfei smoked a cigarette, blew out a gray-white smoke ring and nodded: "Tomorrow morning I will go with you to have a look. If possible, I will pay the rent directly."

"I'm going to Youth Daily in the afternoon, so I won't be with you." "Brother, why are you going to the newspaper office?" Li Youbing asked Zhang Chenfei while holding a pair of rice noodles with chopsticks.

"Don't I want to take the typist test? My brother knows a person in their newspaper office. He said he would be on duty tomorrow and asked me to sneak in and get familiar with the typewriter. If the house is rented, you can do it by yourself in the afternoon."

After Zhang Chenfei finished speaking, he stuffed the rice sausage into his mouth and chewed it.

As a matter of fact, although the rice sausage is full of starch and has no meat, it actually tastes pretty good.

A few people just drank and chatted like this. When it was time to get off work, the number of people in the pub began to speed up significantly.

The fat man complained that he was hungry, so Zhang Chenfei gave He Yongqiang 60 cents and asked him to buy four bowls of rotten meat noodles.

There is a saying in Sijiu City, "No matter he is a donkey or a horse, eat rotten meat noodles before playing cymbals." This shows the popularity of rotten meat noodles in the minds of the people in Sijiu City.

As the name suggests, "rotten meat noodles" are noodles with rotten meat as a topping.

Rotten meat here does not mean rotten meat, but means that the meat is not a whole piece, but refers to the tendons, skin and bones and other pork/beef and mutton scraps.

This kind of meat needs to be stewed with heavy ingredients and for a long time before it becomes tender.

Rotten meat noodles are food for the poor. Even if "rotten meat" is used, there will not be more in a bowl.

Under normal circumstances, the waiter at the Ershi Restaurant uses long chopsticks to pick out pure noodles from the pot and put them into the bowl in front of the customers.

Then use a large spoon to scoop out a spoonful of pure broth, and the second spoonful of half a spoonful of broth, with a little bit of muscle mixed in it.

When the waiter puts the soup in, he raises his spoon high, and the small pieces of meat fall on the top of the noodle bowl in front of the diners. Finally, he pours some red oil on it, and you eat it! !

Although there is not much meat in the rotten pork noodles, the noodles are hand-rolled and are chewy and smooth. The broth is full of flavor and has a thick layer of oil, so it leaves a lingering aroma in your mouth.

In the winter, when I eat a bowl of noodles like this, I pick up the bowl and drink the soup in one gulp. I drink up my nose and a layer of white hair sweat appears on my forehead. It can be said that my whole body feels comfortable.

Zhang Chenfei wiped his mouth after finishing his noodles, then put down his chopsticks, and saw a man who looked like Dumb from the Crayon Shin-chan cartoon walking in.

When the man entered the door, he stopped and looked around, then walked towards the least noticeable table in the pub.

There was already a tricycle master at the table, and the man walked over, as if he wanted to share the table. The driver immediately gave up his seat respectfully and said something to the man.

After waiting for a long time, it’s finally here! ! Zhang Chenfei thought to himself.
